English Language

English Language takes you on a journey through language across time, place and social context. You’ll build genuine expertise in analysing how people use language, from grammar and phonetics to real debates about how words enter everyday use.

What are the entry requirements?
You'll need a grade 4 in GCSE English.
What will you learn?
You'll explore language variation across time and context, how children acquire spoken and written language, and carry out your own independent research investigation. You'll also produce original creative writing across different genres.
Can I combine this with English Literature?
Yes, although it's an unusual combination best suited to students planning to study English at university. This course cannot be combined with English Language & Literature.
What can this course lead to?
This course suits students considering careers in media, public relations, law, psychology or teaching, and is highly regarded by universities and employers alike.
